The Chargers will be kicking themselves after their tardy start to the season and after not looking like making it for the best part of the season,  the Falcons get to 10 wins and earn a spot.  Atlanta could be the surprise packet.

And we have a winner in the tipping competition!

Congratulations to Clintosaurus  who wins the competition with a record score of 15 points - well done and well played. 

Go the Biff (2nd place) stayed up near the pace all season but couldn't quite bridge the gap.  Former winner Dappa Dan rounds out 3rd place.  

Final Tally

15 - Clintosaurus

12 - Go the Biff

10 - Dappa Dan

-------------------------------

7 - Macca

4 - JV7,  Gorgoroth

Well played to all though ... the comp is easy to run from my point of view and hopefully we'll get a few more joining in next season.  We can do another post-season tipping comp as well if we can get enough takers (more on that later) 

To the victor go the spoils ...

Once again, thanks Macca.

Can't believe we are onto the post season already, the seasons seem to go quicker every year. 

 

The wife was just informed that I'm watchibg the game Sunday, I was jist informed that she is going out... anywhere but here... ?

Gongrats Clint, enjoy my title, I'll be wanting it back next year... ha ha!

 

Thanks a bunch for running it Macca. Appreciate it.

Just imagine being a Ravens fan at the game - gut wrenching. 

Well done to the Bills though ... 17 long seasons without playoffs and they finally make it! 

I'm gonna sayyyy.... no. Don't want to imagine being a team that missed the playoffs while being expected to make it. Don't need to imagine, really.

Bills... so great when the outsider gets in.

Well done Falcons. Personally I can't see Eagles winning in two weeks, so whoever they play will be hungry.

Well done Clint on making the hall of fame. Much deserved. An absolute rout.

New post for the hats-off to Macca. Great fun as always. Look forward to the post season tipping comp. I assume it's just pick every game, most correct picks wins?

Traditionally it's been 1 point per winner with 3 points up for grabs for the Super Bowl but ...

I'm interested in making the NFC & AFC Championship games worth 2 points for each game just to spice things up and keep people interested. 

What does everyone think? 

We've also traditionally posted up our likely score outcomes but those scores are there for interests sake only.  @pantaloons started things off that way back in 2013 and we've all just followed suit.

Sweet.

I imagine the two point thing would be great if it keeps everyone picking. So why not?

That's the idea Dappa ... if one has a poor tipping result in week 1 or week 2 of the playoffs there's still a chance at winning overall with a strong finish. 

Here are next week's games again - all times are AEDT ...

Sun 8.35am ...... Titans @ Chiefs

Sun 12.15pm .... Falcons @ Rams

Mon 5.00am ..... Bills @ Jaguars

Mon 8.40am ..... Panthers @ Saints

Work intervenes but the 2 College SF's could be good viewing ... I really only tune in at this stage of the College season but it would be good if they expanded the playoffs to 8 teams. 

Close finishes are my ideal outcomes as I don't really have a dog in any of the fights.  Alabama just made it into the playoffs but the 2 SF's are played at neutral venues.

I struggle with the college games, the rule changes annoy me, seems its all O, no D.

Yeah ... it's free scoring alright.  The Americans can't get enough of it though. 

My interest extends to the playoffs (only) like I often am with a few other sports (Rugby League,  the pointy end of a number of soccer cups,  Super Rugby,  NHL etc etc)

 


Noted NFL insider Adam Schefter is saying that Jon Gruden is set for the Oakland Raiders job.  A huge story if true.  Jack Del Rio has been fired to make way? 

If it happens Gruden will end up coaching out of Las Vegas.

Chuck Pagano has been sacked as the Colts coach

Everyone has chased Gruden, the money he could get out of Vegas would be insane. 

Not sure Raiders should be his go tho.

Browns have picks 1 and 4. Need to make them count this year.

They could draft a couple of busts again! :ph34r: ... and I've yet to witness anyone ever being able to predict a bust (or at least being able to do so consistently)

The criticism of draft choices that go South nearly always comes after the event. 

 

Yeah, and super quick to dismiss players who don't instantly perform.

Could Kizer make it with a decent offense around him? Would he be worse than Bortles? 

Browns will go for a QB at 1, if they dont I think the fans will burn the stadium down.

Now to see if that college QB nominates for the draft or stays at school.

Yep,  agree with all that Gorg.

The Browns just have to keep going back to the well with fingers crossed ... the Sixers (NBA) and the Raiders have also both had horrendous luck with drafting but both franchises are now slowly starting to come good. 

All that tanking and then they draft busts!  Drafting is often a cruel beast.

8 new teams make the playoffs ... which means that 20 different teams have made the playoffs in the last 2 seasons.  Quite amazing. 

I'm not sure there's another sporting league in the world where the parity is as it is in the NFL.  Every team has 167 million to spend on player salaries which should mean that every team gets to have it's fair share of top-end talent.  Except for the Browns it seems :ph34r:

It's right up there with their crowning achievements I reckon. Their innovation is world best. Meanwhile Soccer is stuck, Baseball is a joke... AFL is improving, but still along way to go.

Good season of tipping and banter in here. Thanks @Macca for organising and I'll be in the post season version for sure.

Hopeful the Jags can get past Buffalo and Pittsburgh to the AFC Championship Game. Good luck to everyone else with teams in the playoffs.

    It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
